We have a very clear choice to make as stated above. Let us look first of all at what is meant by the New Age.
The New Age encompasses numerous belief systems, but can usually be summed up in the following way. We are all part of a huge universal soul or cosmic soul that makes up both living organisms and inanimate ones. What we say or do according to the New Age affects this cosmic soul, but what or who are you in essence praying to? Since you are part of this universal soul you are essentially praying to yourself. I am praying to myself to solve the myriad of problems around me. Now, how many people do each of us know who has it all together and can solve the toughest problems on the earth? If we are honest, we’ll admit none of us can fix even ourselves or even those closest to us much less the world. My praying to or, if you will, through myself does little or no good.
Now, let’s look at the New Birth. The premise behind the New Birth is that I am a sinner in need of help from someone outside of myself. That help was sent by God from heaven in the form of baby Jesus. Jesus grew up and willingly went to the cross to die for our sins. Our faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross connects us to Father God and releases the Holy Spirit into our lives. It is that connection which also releases God’s grace and power to overcome whatever we are facing if we participate in staying connected through Bible reading, church attendance, Christian media, etc. I am not praying to and/or through myself to change bad situations but praying in Jesus’ name to Father God who created the universe.
If you have not already done so, choose the New Birth and confess to God that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness. By faith, accept Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for your sins.
